Oysterflex Thickness versus Jubilee or Oyster?

Hi Team,

Is the Oysterflex bracelet thicker on the wrist than a Jubilee or Oyster bracelet? Please advise? Thanks!

I believe it is thicker because of the fins.

Not sure but I recently tried it on for first time at my AD and I really liked the feel and look of it.

Mine on my Sky D is more comfortable than any of by metal bracelets. The Sky D also has the Glidelock clasp which is a real bonus.

The band portion of my OF Daytona is about the same thickness as the oyster on my SS Daytona but the fins on the back of the OF add overall thickness so in effect it is a little thicker and you can definitely see it on your wrist.
The OF band is really comfortable and the mini glidelock on the new variants makes it easier to get a nice fit with the stock band lengths for most wrists.

I agree with this. Definitely feels thicker. I prefer oyster but OF is not uncomfortable just feels less breathable but that's probably because of rubber.
